Observations on " Notes on the Flora of the Orknev 

 Isles. By Arthur Bennett, A.L.S.," published in 

 " Transactions of the Botanical Society of Edinburgh," 

 vol. xxvii, part i, pp. 54-59 (1916). By Colonel 

 H. H. Johnston, C.B., C.B.E., D.Sc, F.R.S.E., F.L.S. 



KRead 10th June 1920.) 



Under " Lwpinus nootkateiisis, Donn.," and '' Prhnula 

 scotica, Hook.," for "Trail" read Traill. (The late Dr. 

 William Traill of Woodwick, Orkney.) 



Under '' Alchemilla cdpestris, Schmidt," " Sedum acre, 

 Linn.," and "Arctium minus, Bernh.," the late Mr. A. 

 Soraerville should have recorded the name of the station 

 for these plants as Sanday, and not " Sandy Island," which 

 latter is an English translation of the Norse name Sand-ey 

 (now spelled Sanda}-). 



On page 55, line 10 from bottom of page, after " Koch " 

 complete the inverted commas thus: — Koch"; and in line 8 

 from bottom of same page delete the inverted conmias after 

 " practice." 



With reference to " Hiercium strictum,, Fr. — Hobbister 

 rocks, Orphir, Syme," specimens of a Hieracium collected 

 by me and Miss I. B. I. Fortescue, at Hobbister, Orphir, 

 Mainland, on 11th August 1880, were so named by the late 

 Dr. J. T. I. B. Boswell (formerly Mr. John T. Syme), who 

 sent Miss Fortescue's specimens to the Botanical Exchange 

 Club under that name; but my herbarium specimen has 

 since been identified as Hieracium corymhosu77i, Fries, 

 var. salicifolium (Lindeb.), by Mr. F. J. Hanbury, and 

 recorded by me under this name in " The Annals of Scottish 

 Natural History," July 1895, p. 178. H. strictum. Fries, 

 therefore, does not appear to grow in Orkney. See 

 " Botanical Exchange Club Report for 1880," p. 33 (1881). 



Under " Pimpinella Saxifraga, Linn.," delete " Heathy 

 hillside, 320 feet alt. Hoy, 1912. H. H. Johnston," but 

 add the same remarks under " Pyrola rotundifolia, Linn." 



With reference to " EupJirasia uemorosa. Mart. — Moul 

 Head, Deerness, 1884. W. I. Fortescue sp.," specimens of 

 this gathering were sent to the Botanical Exchange Club
